This latest volume in the hugely popular 1,001 series is the ideal guide to the worldâ‚¬s most exhilarating walks, hikes, and views. Walking is one of our favorite pastimes and one of the easiestâ‚¬"and healthiestâ‚¬"ways to explore the world. It allows walkers to go at their own pace, savor local colors and details, and discover sights that would be missed if in a car or even on a bicycle. The popularity of recreational walking is on the rise with the growing number of trails and the conversion of former canal towpaths and railway lines, like New Yorkâ‚¬s High Line, into mixed-use walkways. Wide-ranging routes carefully selected for scenic beauty, historic attributes, or natural charms include Californiaâ‚¬s John Muir Trail, the Miami Beach Art Deco walk, Hadrianâ‚¬s Wall and Offaâ‚¬s Dyke paths in England, the Italian lakes, and many others, from easy jaunts to more rugged hikes.Each entry provides essential details about a must-try walk, including start and finish points, overall distance, difficulty rating, maps, and likely duration, making this book an inspiring reference for anyone looking to venture off the beaten path.
